[Xen-devel] Problem bringing up 32-bit Sles 9 on a Dom-VT
All,
We are facing some issues bringing up a DomVT on Xen x86_64(changeset
9267).
We created a disk image with dd 8 G in size.
We then booted an associated Dom-VT with a CD-ROM and did net-install of
the sles-9 OS.
This completes successfully.
Then, when the system is brought around for a reboot (having changed the
boot option from cdrom to disk), the system hangs after the line
''NET:Registered protocol family 2
I have attached the serial output, the screen-capture of the boot and
the domain configuration file.
Are we making some obvious error?
Thanks
Raj

RE: [Xen-devel] Problem bringing up 32-bit Sles 9 on a Dom-VT
Hi,Raj
There should be no problem to install and boot sles9 ia32 guest on xen
x86_64.I had tried this against 9251 and didn''t meet any problem.
Can you check if the guest uses up kernel? If it''s smp kernel,
it''s
possible that you cannot boot it up.
Please also try to switch the console of guest with Ctrl+Alt+Fx and see
if have any error messages printed?
And a SLES9 IA32 guest image also could be downloaded from the link
blow.
http://free.oszoo.org/download.html
thanks
Yunfeng

RE: [Xen-devel] Problem bringing up 32-bit Sles 9 on a Dom-VT
Yunfeng, Thanks. It was indeed a multi-proc kernel issue. We did not realise that the SUSE install program was installing a smp kernel by default. How do you guys normally create your installs? Do you perform a standard install off a cdrom (basically treating the DOM-VT as a standard uniproc machine?) or do you use a downloaded disk image?

RE: [Xen-devel] Problem bringing up 32-bit Sles 9 on a Dom-VT
Raj Most vmx guests of us,like SLES9 IA32/IA32e, SLES10 IA32, Windows XP SP1/SP2 IA32,windows 2003 IA32,RHEL4U1/2 IA32/IA32e and FC3/4 IA32/IA32e, were installed from cdrom/iso by ourself. But there are some other linux OSes still could not be installed in VMX, like sles10 ia32e and FC2 ia32/ia32e guests. To create these guests, you may need to install these native linuxs on a physical machine ,and copy all files under / into a guest image, and then install grub on the image. You also can try to use qemu to install it. BTW: To install IA32e linux guests you need to add "noacpi nolapic" to the kernel.

> # New stuff > device_model = ''/usr/'' + arch_libdir + ''/xen/bin/qemu-dm''It''s grotesque that we have to set the path to qemu-dm in the config file like this, Please can someone knock up a patch to hardwire a sensible default into xend so most config files can ommit it.
